EML: I don't think I communicated my impression well enough. It's not that CoX has more to *do* than WoW does -- in that regard, you're right.
Hell, WoW blows CoX out of the water with the sheer variety of stuff to do.
It's in the *storyline* that CoX really shines. As I said, of all my CoX alts, not one of them has gotten to the same place by the same route. In WoW,
there's a few routes you can follow, but that's really about it. It's all about getting to the endgame, rather than enjoying the trip itself.
Endgame-wise, WoW again blows CoX out of the water... but what about getting there? Bleh. It's the same-old-same-old all over again for every alt you
create. Spawn in your racially-designated area. Do X quests, level, move to next higher area, rinse lather repeat. Once you've done it with one
character, you've done it with all of them.
Seriously? I enjoyed WoW. But the reason it got boring wasn't because of the lack of endgame content or things to do, it was because *I'd done it all
before*.
You can run into the same wall in CoX, I'm sure. I'm certain farmers hit it routinely. But the difference, to me, is that with CoX... when you start
a new character, you can take an entirely different route than any you've taken before. The novelty remains.
Does that help clarify my position? I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm just trying to help you understand it. You don't have to agree, heh.
